Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines contemporary stories of migration belonging to multiple literary genres such as nonfiction, memoir, novel, and essay, and explores the futures they envision for migrants and their surrounding societies. The primary material ranges from personal experiences of migration for professional purposes and of being undocumented without access to citizenship, to novels that provide fictional representations of migrants and their complex lives.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book looks at contemporary autobiographical works by writers with African backgrounds in relation to the idea of 'place'. It examines eight authors' works - Helen Cooper's The House at Sugar Beach, Sisonke Msimang's Always Another Country, Leila Ahmed's A Border Passage, Noo Saro-Wiwa's Looking for Transwonderland, Douglas Rogers's The Last Resort, Elamin Abdelmahmoud's Son of Elsewhere, Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil's The Girl Who Smiled Beads and Aminatta Forna's autobiographical writing - to argue that place is particularly central to personal narrative in texts whose authors have migrated multiple times. Spanning Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Egypt, Rwanda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, this book interrogates the label 'African' writing which has been criticized for ignoring local contexts. It demonstrates how in their works these writers seek to reconnect with a bygone 'Africa', often after complex experiences of political upheavals and personal loss. The chapters also provide in-depth analyses of key concepts related to place and autobiography: place and privilege, place and trauma, and the relationship between place and nation.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines 21st-century South African autobiographical writing that addresses the nation's socio-political realities, both past and present. The texts in focus represent and depict a South Africa caught in the midst of contradictory and competing images of the 'Rainbow Nation'. Arguing that recent memoirs question and criticize the illusion of a united nation, the study shows how these texts reveal the flaws and shortcomings not only of the apartheid past but of contemporary South Africa. It encompasses a broad range of autobiographical works, largely published since 2009, that engage with South Africa's past, present and future. At its centre is the quest for space and belonging, and this book investigates who can comfortably 'belong' in South Africa in its post-apartheid, post-Truth and Reconciliation, post-Mbkei and post-Zuma state.…
